Descrizione : Late Period, 664-332 BC. A finely crafted dark brown glazed steatite amuletic pendant of the djed pillar with dorsal pillar and pierced bar to the reverse. See Andrews, C. Amulets of Ancient Egypt, London, 1994, p.482. 1.63 grams, 31mm (1 1/4). Property of an Essex gentleman, acquired from a collection formed in the 1920s. The Djed pillar is an amulet in the form of the hieroglyph sign,Djed which means 'enduring', 'stable' and similar concepts. Originally it may have represented a stylised tree trunk with the branches lopped off. It first appeared in connection with the rites for Sokaris, the funerary god of Memphis, and later for the god Ptah. It was the central feature of the ceremony known as 'The Raising of the Djed'. Since this entailed the setting upright of a hugh Djed by means of ropes, rather in the manner of a maypole, the tree-trunk origin seems likely.
